Countdown to Sustainability Report Submission! GreTai: Disclosing Green Revenue Can Earn ESG Evaluation Bonus Points

As sustainability information disclosure becomes a focal point in the capital markets, GreTai Securities Market announced that all listed companies should complete the preparation and filing of their 2025 sustainability reports by the end of August this year (Year 115). To assist enterprises in improving disclosure quality and filing efficiency, GreTai continues to optimize related tools and support resources. Recently, it launched a newly revamped 'ESG Digital Platform,' leveraging digital functions to help companies quickly finalize their sustainability reports. Additionally, through its ESG evaluation mechanism, GreTai encourages companies to disclose green revenue and corporate value enhancement plans, further integrating sustainable development into business strategies.

GreTai noted that the new version of the ESG Digital Platform introduces an auxiliary function for producing sustainability reports, which connects to existing ESG data previously filed by companies and automatically imports draft content into the report, reducing redundant data entry. The platform also offers multiple reference resources such as suggested reporting frameworks, drafting templates, GRI Standards, and practical examples to help companies follow international standards in their disclosures.

This update further incorporates an online text editor, allowing users to directly edit text formatting, insert tables, and complete draft writing on the platform. Additional features such as copying the previous year’s draft and automatically importing SASB disclosure content significantly enhance preparation efficiency and usability, providing businesses with a more user-friendly experience.

Beyond strengthening filing tools, GreTai is also continuously promoting green finance development, encouraging listed companies to disclose green revenue information in their sustainability reports or via the ESG Digital Platform. Companies whose green revenue reaches a certain threshold will be awarded the 'Green Security Mark' certification. This not only demonstrates tangible achievements in green transformation and environmental sustainability but also helps enhance corporate brand image and market visibility.

Notably, disclosing green revenue information will become a key criterion for earning bonus points in ESG evaluations. GreTai stated that companies obtaining the Green Security Mark will qualify for additional scoring in the Year 115 ESG evaluation, guiding more enterprises toward low-carbon transformation and sustainable operations, while attracting market capital toward companies with environmental benefits and growth potential.

Moreover, the inaugural ESG evaluation system launched this year will include the extent of corporate value enhancement measures disclosed as an assessment indicator. GreTai indicated that companies formulating specific strategies and initiatives to enhance corporate value, which have been discussed by the board of directors and disclosed in the designated section, will have the opportunity to earn evaluation bonus points. In particular, 'best practice companies' with comprehensive and valuable disclosure frameworks may receive additional recognition, thereby encouraging stronger communication between enterprises and investors.

GreTai emphasized that disclosing corporate value enhancement plans allows investors to better understand a company’s long-term development strategy, growth momentum, and sustainability initiatives, further enhancing market transparency and investor trust, and fostering a positive interaction between enterprises and the capital market.

GreTai stressed that, as a vital platform connecting enterprises and the capital market, it will continue to refine sustainability information disclosure mechanisms and provide more diverse support resources and digital services to help listed companies balance sustainable development with corporate value enhancement. By channeling capital toward green industries and enterprises with long-term competitiveness, it aims to jointly build a more resilient, transparent, and internationally competitive capital market in Taiwan.
